Coming up Feb. 28-March 2. I've entered the AMV contest, so I'm definitely going. You can find all the pertinent info here.

I'm pretty sure I'll be there on Sunday. Saturday isn't looking too good, I've never been to Megacon for more than a day. I'll probably only go on Saturday if my friends blackmail me into going and pay for my ticket.

Yeah, same here. I'm going Saturday and Sunday, since this is one of the few times I can actually AFFORD a Con without starving myself for a week (thank you, financial aid!). I actually HAVE to go Sunday since I'm in the contest.

Well, it'll be nice to catch you Sunday, then! BTW, MoreThanToast rocks ^_^ *sings* Iiiiiiii'm a cucumber! Iiiiii'm a cucumber! Please don't take me to the pickle farm! Yeah!

Um, I know this probably sounds like a REALLY stupid question, but when you uploaded your vid to their FTP, did you see anything in the FTP directory (and it was supposed to go in the "incoming" folder, right?)? Because I didn't. If they have it set up that way as a security precaution (which makes sense), then I don't feel quite so dumb.

Same thing with me. I couldn't see anything. But there were files there. My first attempt to upload my video failed halfway through and it wouldn't let me resend it since overwrite was turned off. I had to rename the file and resend it. So I guess there's files there, just can't see them.

Interesting thought...what would you say about meeting at the Con? I'm not cosplaying, and I'll more than likely be wearing a black Gundam Wing Endless Waltz t-shirt that has Zechs and Duo on the back of it, with a couple of anime pins at the collar (specifically a Treize pin and a Kamui pin). Or for a surefire way to find me, just start yelling random Invader Zim quotes in the dealer room ^_^

I never plan that far in advance what I'm wearing somewhere o.O But I'll most likely be wearing my custom RVP shirt.

Well, seeing as the convention is less than two weeks away, should we plan some meeting place/time for a get together? I'ver never been to MegaCon myself, so if someone who has gone would like to suggest a place/time, that would be awesome.

Does anybody know on what day and time the contest will be held?

Meeting sounds cool. I'll be there pretty much all day Saturday and Sunday. Actually, my friends and I plan on getting into town Friday night, but probably too late to do anything at the con.

I'm thinking we can just meet at the AMV contest. I'll be hannging around with 5-6 crack-happy friends, and carrying around a homemade Sephiroth plushie (hopefully I can sew him some pants by then -_-)

I just looked through the pages, and I couldn't find any info about the AMV Contest. All I know is that JACO will be showing anime in Section C, Room 414A.

Yeah. Although it did say they're announcing the winners on Sunday and playing the best entries. I'm assuming that means the actual contest would be held sometime on Saturday (considering Saturdays are usually when everything happens), but you never know. If not, then I'll either be in the JACO room or hanging around the dealer room

Last I heard the contest is at 1 pm on Sunday. Nothing on Saturday with the amv's, the contest/showing and winners are all showed at the same time. Everything is subject to change I suppose, but a week ago that was the plan.
